Tremella fuciformis, popularly known as "snow fungus" due to its white appearance and gelatinous texture, is a highly valued parasitic fungus. This fungus initially grows as a mucilaginous film on the wet branches of dead trees, utilizing the decomposing plant material as a base for its development. Upon finding its ideal host, usually fungi of the Annulohypoxylon or Hypoxylon genera, Tremella fuciformis invades and develops an aggressive mycelium. This process results in its distinctive gelatinous and spongy body, which is widely marketed and appreciated in various industries.
Common names for Tremella fuciformis include white fungus, silver ear fungus, and white gelatinous fungus.
Tremella is a medicinal mushroom that offers numerous health benefits, including adaptogenic properties. If you want to improve your overall health, increase your ability to manage stress, and promote your well-being, Tremella can be a valuable addition to your daily routine.

Tremella fuciformis has been cultivated in China since the 19th century. Initially, treated logs were used, relying on natural colonization of the fungus. This method was improved by inoculating logs with spores or mycelium. Modern production uses "dual cultivation," inoculating sawdust with Tremella and its host, Annulohypoxylon archeri, under optimal conditions. In 1997, China produced approximately 130,000 tons. It is also cultivated in other East Asian countries and to a lesser extent in other regions.
